Remember the Milk
It’s been a while since I wrote a review, and I really have to get back on that. There are so many really good bits laying around and unless we write about them, they don’t get any love.
This site has been around for a while, but I’m steadily shocked when people say they’ve never heard of it. It dovetails with my post about GTD and clearing your mind of things that need to be done. Once you put your todo items in a place you know you’ll visit often enough, your brain stops randomly floating them for you to reconsider.
Remember The Milk, or RTM, as it’s affectionately called by yours truly, is a task list & reminder management system. You can create as many lists as you like and it supports all the trimmings we’ve come to call “minimum requirements”: tags; reminders via SMS, email, and messenger; keyboard shortcuts; and interaction with 3rd party services.
The big selling point for me were the keyboard shortcuts. To create a new task, due tomorrow at 9am, with a few tags, the flow is easy: (t – new task)Check on Etrade verification deposits.(d - due date)tomorrow at 9am(s - tags)@online[enter]. They also offer Pro accounts that give you access to new features like MilkSync for BlackBerry and Windows Mobile.
